Hey Guys looking at getting some electric roller blinds they have the Somfy Zigbee motor in them - I’m wondering can I connect directly to homey pro or do I need the Somfy switch and connect the blind through that - I had a look at the Homy pro Somfy app but it doesn’t show a Zigbee blind only the RTS and io blinds any help on this would be great thanks

You need the TaHoma Switch as far as I know. It does work with Homey but you need the TaHoma Switch as a bridge

Thanks I was thinking that it might work like that similar to Philips Hue bridge how that works with homey The only thing I’m wondering in the Somfy app it doesn’t show any Zigbee blinds [IMG_7687]

I’m not sure, you should ask the app developer in the app topic: [image] [APP][Cloud & Pro] Somfy Tahoma & Connexoon (v4.0.124, test v4.0.143) Apps First, I would like to thank Lennart Kuijs for making this app many years ago. I have found it extremely useful and it inspired me to write some of my own apps. However, Lennart no longer has the spare time to maintain the app, so he has handed the reins over to me. Local Access Tahoma and Connexoon now support local access when using a Homey Pro. To enable this you need to switch on the Developer mode in you Somfy account: First connect to the Somfy website and navigate to the man My Accou…

The app does recognise some of the Zigbee blinds but Tahoma hides the transport protocol, so the Homey app is not aware they are Zigbee.

Thanks Adrian what does that mean - can I operate the blinds with homey flows etc - didn’t want to spend all that money and find that they can’t be operated with Homey

I can’t guarantee anything until I see the data from Tahoma as I don’t know what the devices exposes. But, normally, once the device is added to Tahoma, the underlying transport protocol is hidden and the API just accepts standard Somfy commands. So, it is more than likely going to work with Homey and Flows.

Thanks for the reply when I get them I could do some testing if you need

RTS motors are 433 MHz and can be controlled directly from Homey, no need for a bridge. Their io motors do need the bridge as far as I know.

But these are Zigbee motors though.
